    On our radar: Sophie Bille Brahe

    Eponymous jewellery label Sophie Bille Brahe was only founded a year ago and in that short time it has already found it's way into the seasonal selections of fashion's big retailers - Colette Paris and Dover Street Market to name a couple. Although she is a graduate of London's Royal College of Arts, her Scandinavian design heritage plays a large part in her work. Amongst her diverse inspirations she finds creative stimulation in poetry, innovation and the unexplained. These intriguing touch points help to explain her autumn/winter 2012 collection Cassiopeia, the scientific name for the W-shaped constellation, that also includes romantic pieces like the Clair de Lune ring.

     

    For autumn/winter Bille-Brahe has collaborated with Swedish highstreet brand Weekday. The L'Escalier collection is inspired by, amongst many other things, the simple geometry in the Bauhaus dances by Oskar Schlemmer, M. C. Escher's impossible architectural constructions and Piero Fornasetti's magical furniture design. Sophie admits that "it sounds like an awful lot when I reel these inspiration sources off, but in a way I think its just very typical me. I want to do something you don't get bored with, something you continue to fall in love with it again and again." It seems to be having the desired effect - Lykke Li, Madonna, Noomi Rapace and Oh Land are all fans.

     

    You can see the Cassiopeia collection online and L'Escalier by Sophie Bille Brahe is available at Weekday this month.

    Zagliani launch Made to Order

    Leather goods label Zagliani turns 65 this year. Whether or not it's specifically because of this birthday, the launch of Zagliani ATELIER at the Sloane Street store this July is certainly cause for celebration. For the first time, the clients of the Milanese luxury house can create a unique piece according to their personal preferences. Each bag is hand-made upon request with customers selecting their favourite style (from six options), colour and detail finishings, including personal initialling, in finest and softest crocodile skins, with nappa leather linings.

    The ATELIER line is available for autumn/winter 2012 in selected stockists worldwide, including the Zagliani Sloane Street boutique in London.
